Kinect V2 to Isadora. State of the art

[Fred]

Instead of paying you can get OSC of skeleton data from a windows machine for free there are a few apps here is one

https://github.com/microcosm/KinectV2-OSC

It uses the SDK natively so it is fast and reliable but no depth or image streams.

BTW I have used a hacked library that lets you get this stuff on mac, it is slow at the moment but getting better, maybe we will see it soon (although with some limitations)

Ni-Mate V2 - download the demo and check it out. :)

Like LPmode I'm using touchdesigner for this at the moment. Piping some video to Isadora via Spout.

Its seems like a pretty complete wrapper for the K4W2 sdk but I'm interested to see if Ni-Mate brings anything new to the table.

It has a kiosk mode which sounds interesting - ideal for installations perhaps?

great, hope it's going to be developed for Mac OS soon or later

didn't ask the Ni Mate support yet...

Kinect v2 for mac would be good.
